Alright, but rather basic.

I was hoping for a bit more, truthfully. Basic oil finish, simple bindings, little to no advice on voicing the top. While it was nice to see a guitar made from start to finish, I don't think you could make a nice guitar following this video set alone.

Finally, someone stood up to give Mr. Erlewine a run for his money!

Chris is an amazing teacher and he proves it in this out of this world DVD series. He will make you wanna try making your own acoustic, even if you don't like acoustics - he made me fall in love with the idea!!

Absolutely fantastic and HIGHLY recommended!

Fantastic Series!

This is an absolutely incredible series on Acoustic Guitar making, and well worth the investment! Chris Wynne is an excellent mentor, and takes you through pretty much every possible step you will undergo while constructing a guitar. At many points he also demonstrates different ways of doing things, and tries to keep things simple. :)
